Résumé
The article argues that the Danish spy novel at the moment is having a renaissance. To contextualise this thesis the history and the poetics of spy fiction is introduced, tracing the genre back to the 18th century and tracing its developments up til the present. The development of the genre is related to the generel social and political development in the era. The history of Danish spy fiction is then outlined in the light of the international trends. The Danish spy fiction writer Jan Stage is discussed as a central and often overlooked figure. Stages work is introduced in its geopolitical context and one of his most important works, Tree days before the rain (1992), is analyzed in more detail.
